-Chan Buddhism (commonly known as Zen Buddhism) is a form of [[Buddhism]] which originated in [[China]] in around the 6th Century AC. Today it is notably practiced in China (as Chan Buddhism), [[Japan]] (as Zen Buddhism), [[Vietnam]] (as Thien Buddhism) and across [[Korea]] (as Seon Buddhism). There may be debate as to whether it should be defined as a non-theistic [[religion]] or a [[philosophy | philosophical]] paradigm, but across it's various schools, the emphasis of Chan Buddhism is on regular meditation (known as ''zazen'' or ''shin-ja'') and heightened awareness of 'things in themselves' through various techniques, including through the focus on repetitious daily activities (as is common in various [[Christian]] [[monastic]] communities).
